San Pedro Atacama: Baltinache Lagoons

Meet your local host in the main street of San Pedro de Atacama to begin your experience. Heading towards the southeast of the desert taking the scenic route to the hidden lagoons of Baltinache. During the 1-hour drive, see all the rock and salt landscapes that make up the desert, and learn about why this area is believed to have been at the bottom of the ocean millions of years ago.

Walk to the beginning of the track where you can visit all 7 lagoons. Be stunned by the crystal clear waters of the lagoons and wonder how such a thing is possible in the middle of nowhere.

Since June 10, 2024, the lagoons are no longer suitable for swimming. Now we have an update:

Update: Starting March 3, 2025, one of the seven lagoons will reopen for bathing with a café and shower service. As a result, from that date onwards, the entrance fee to the park will be $12,000 CLP, which must be paid in cash, in Chilean pesos only, to the guide on the day of the tour.

Now, be prepared to bathe and float in the extremely salty water of the Baltinache Lagoons.

Finally after all the tour in the park we return to the center of San Pedro de Atacama where your memorable tour concludes.
